A lawyer is asked to come to the police station to clear up a few loose ends in his witness report of a foul murder. "This will only take ten minutes", they say, but it turns out to be one loose end after another, and the ten minutes he is away from his speech become longer and longer.
Well acted mystery-crime-drama from Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman plus some interesting direction and storytelling with the flashbacks inserting Freeman's police inspector with Hackman's recollection of his memory of the event. That said, even with their great back and forth, I felt like the film could've been so much better. 3.25/5
